Since the establishment of the Outer Space Treaty in 1967, space has been understood to be a “global commons” in which no country has sovereignty. But today, with over 90 countries and dozens of private companies operating in space—with the backdrop of a challenging and dangerous geopolitical environment on Earth—can actors still be expected to proceed “for the benefit of all”?
On February 19 at 8:30am ET, Carnegie Council will host a virtual panel discussion as part of the Ethics Empowered: Leadership in Practice series.
